The Foundry Visionmongers Ltd. - MARI 1.6 is available now

MARI is a production proven 3D digital paint tool, designed from the ground up so artists can spend more time being creative and less time managing technical issues.

'We're really pleased that we're now able to fully test and qualify cards from AMD. We've been working hard with them to make this happen and it's great to have Radeons and FireGL cards as first class MARI platforms. MARI 1.6 also brings a new, and unique, toolkit for creating direction based effects directly on the geometry. Be it fur, feathers, scales or flowing lava, intuitive flowmap paint and vector tools give artists the power to nail the look. With new brush-tip preview and emissive shaders too, this release makes MARI more productive and accessible than ever.'
Jack Greasley, MARI Product Manager
